Good grief. You're making the rest of us look like complete slackers. :oops:

You know I'm starting to think there's some merit in this approach. I don't seem to have a lot of luck with my shares. :(

I love everything about this Joe - from the imaginative idea, to the execution (Canadian seal pun not intended), to the colours. Beautifully done my friend :bow: :bow: :bow:

Great skills on show here. Excellent fusing of the body and the tail both stylistically and technically. The excellent paint work of green and yellow-green really sells the beastie's reptilian nature. The multi-layered base has a lot of visual interest without cluttering the composition. I really like the inclusion of water and the "tadpole". The use of complimentary colors throughout including between the base and the hunter makes the composition very pleasing on the eye. I love the commanding, haughty pose of the SharkHunter - no doubt who's in charge of its patch!

A really fun and interesting bash-build to watch. Thanks so much for making the effort and taking the time to share it.

Trevor,
is there anyway to determine how many of the Million+ views for this bash are real versus Bots?
Thanks

Wait what? 👀

Well Joe, I can't help but point out that your bashes have been getting a lot of love on the internet lately. Now that might attract more bot traffic as well as legitimate traffic, but either way this must be the SECOND most watched thread in the history of the clubhouse! 🥰 [Edit: Trekkriffic's Voyager has over 2M views!!!]

Congrats! 😍💥🤩🌋🔥
